22.
When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him he will sit on a throne of glory. Assembled before him will be all the nations. He will separate them from one another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats and he will set the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right. “Come blessed ones of my Father. Inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I hungered and you gave me to eat. I thirsted and you gave me to drink. I was a stranger and you entertained me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to visit me.” Then the righteous will answer him saying “Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsting and give you drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you or naked and clothed you? and when did we see you ailing or in prison and
come to you?”And answering the king will say to them. “Truly tell you inasmuch as you did this to one of these the least of my brothers you did it to me."

Then he will say to those on the left. "Go from me cursed ones into eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you did not give me to eat. I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not cloth me, ill and in prison and you did not visit me." Then they also will answer saying. Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsting or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison and did not minister to you?" Then he will answer them saying “Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do these to one these least ones neither did you do it to me. These will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous will go into life eternal”.
